It’s wonderful to be celebrating our past, our present and our future with you!
Thank you for joining us on the East Keilor campus to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Keilor Heights High School.

This was one of four schools that amalgamated in 1993 to create Essendon Keilor College. We hope you enjoyed checking out some archival gems, sharing stories and making comparisons between schooling then and now.

This occasion provided a great opportunity to showcase student learning through displays, performances and the College Art Show. What a celebration of creativity!

And what better indication of our future-focus than the launch of our new Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Centre. Watch this space for updates of the exciting outcomes to emerge from this innovative, well-equipped learning space.

We trust your tour of the school included a look at our terrific Admin block upgrade. This welcoming space makes a great first impression and has improved the amenity enormously.

We sincerely thank the dedicated students, staff, parents and School Council sub-committee members who put in the hard work it takes to organise such an enjoyable event for us all.
